Maleny couple moves on but their legacy remains at Fig Tree Medical practice

. 

On 28 January 2015 Dr Peter Wynn and his wife Robyn, as practice nurse, consulted with the first patient after establishing Maleny’s Fig Tree Medical Centre.  

The couple transformed the heritage house in 10 Cedar street into a charming practice full of character and warmth. More importantly, it has become a comfort zone for patients seeking quality clinical and personal care.

Having spent most of his life in remote GP environments in various countries, Dr Peter is well skilled in all aspects and challenges of rural medicine. His staff have contributed to the caring ambience of the Practice, and it is little wonder Fig Tree Medical Centre has become a popular choice for patients in Maleny and the greater Hinterland.

After years of selfless service to the Maleny community, Dr Peter and Robyn have decided to hand down the baton to other doctors and healthcare professionals, from January 2022.

“It will be sad not to see their faces every day at Fig Tree Medical,” said practice business owner- manager, Dr  Johan Oelofse. “But we are hopeful that Dr Peter might still come to do some sessions once he has enjoyed some well earned time to rest, travel, garden and spend time with his family,” he said.

Dr Jocelyn Eggins is a well-known and respected  Maleny resident who has established herself over the years as a GP who is serious about quality medicine and improving clinical outcomes – but always with a personal touch and commitment to genuine patient care.

“Such is Dr Jocelyn’s dedication to the wellbeing of her patients, we believe she will continue to build on the legacy of true healthcare,” Dr Oelofse said.

Dr Jocelyn and Dr Johan Oelofse believe in teamwork and have already identified new ways to improve patient care. They believe that in order to ensure continuity of care it is important to have multiple healthcare professionals with different skill sets.

“Our patients can rest assured that they will soon receive an update on more GP’s and healthcare professionals joining the team at 10 Cedar street, Maleny,” they said, and added “We are excited to build on the legacy established by Dr Peter and Robyn by serving our patients with quality, patient-centric medicine, and we are looking forward to welcoming new patients to the growing Fig Tree Medical Centre family”.
